Hi,
Well thanks to everyone who replied/is repling. Its amazing, I got
several answers before I even recieved my own question over the list.
Thought there was many the first was Tim Evans, thanks to all.
ANSWER:
Some autoloaders will load the next tape in the stack when you eject
the current one with 'mt -f /dev/rmt/X offline'. I don't know if
this one will, but give it a try.
QUESTION:
